Sheriff's Office: Man Killed Baby Daughter Because He Wanted Son
Father Beat Girl For Months, Report Says

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- A Winter Haven man was charged with murder, accused of fatally beating his 4-month-old daughter Christmas Day because he wanted a son, authorities said.

Marcos Gomez-Romero, 28, told investigators that he beat Ariana Rodriguez Romero to death because he wanted a son instead of a daughter, according to a Polk County Sheriff's Office report.

According to deputy interviews, Gomez-Romero said he became angry every time he saw the girl. He also said that abusing his daughter became a habit, a sheriff's report showed.

Gomez-Romero told deputies that he would slap his daughter on the ribs while she was sleeping, and the Medical Examiner's Office said the girl had dozens of rib fractures, a bruised liver and a hemorrhage in her left eye, according to the Polk County sheriff's report.

7. At the very least, he should be sterilized.

This strange sensibility we have developed that believes everyone, regardless of situation, should be allowed to breed is illogical. This man does not deserve the chance to reproduce.

6. Mr. Romero deserves very severe punishment...but the DU Pro-Rape-and-Torture Squad

10. A son wouldn't have made him any more of a man...

[Maestro]

12. Throw him away along with the key.

What a fucking animal and idiot!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. See, It's Times Like These That I So Can't Be A Perfect DU'er.

I say that because I want him to suffer. I want him to have the shit beaten out of him in prison. I want him to have his punk ass raped in prison. I want him to suffer...every single day...until he fuckin dies.

I know I'm supposed to be more 'compassionate' than that, but in situations like this I just can't be. I want him to spend every remaining day of his life in immense amounts of pain and suffering. That's all I really have to say...

[durrrty libby]

14. Sexism at its worse and goes to show how deep-seated it is.

[Blue Diadem]

15. RIP sweet little Ariana

I'm sorry your short life was filled with abuse and hate and that your tiny body had to endure so much pain. You deserved to be loved and cherished and safe.
